    How many bloody bins do you have?

    This morning the bin men delivered two more of the ******* things for us to use.

    I now have:

    A green bin for rubbish
    A brown bin for garden rubbish
    A small green bin for food scaps
    A big black bin for plastic
    A medium green bin for bottles an cans
    A blue sack for paper

    As this rate I'll have to buy a bigger house to fit the damned things in.

    Green food bin,
    Normal Black bin,
    Black box for tins and plastic,
    Blue box for paper and card,
    White bags (50p a shot) for garden rubbish.

        I have suspected that for some time. Apparently a lot of it used to be shipped to China on huge container ships but the Chinese don't want it anymore, and who can blame them.

        Ah well, just as long as it looks like the council is doing something green.

        Who's going to recycle all those plastic bins?

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          Wrong! Only about 95% of it goes to landfill.

            Well I've given up recycling paper. I recycle glass and cans. I've heard aluminium cans are very good to recycle, but I mainly have old glass bottles. Green bottles usually...

              I have two bins

              1 bin for landfill also reused for Garden waste on a separate day
              1 bin for all recyling, glass, plastic, cardboard etc

              Basically your council don't using a recycling sorting centre so they are making you separate it all.

                    I think that goes in the green bin.
